Description

In India, farmers struggle to grow their crops during the long dry months. International Development Enterprises India, led by Amitabha Sadangi, has developed simple drip irrigation systems which hydrate plants a drop of water at a time and cost as little as $1. They enable farmers to produce crops in the dry season-farmers who would normally have to look for other work while waiting for the monsoon, even migrating to urban slums for part of the year. This program examines whether or not the very poorest farmers using IDEI systems can really make enough money to pay for them, and whether or not IDEI's inspirational boss will accept Alvin Hall's challenge to groom a successor.
